Life keeps getting faster, busier, more demanding, more hectic, and more tiring. How can any of us avoid stress, anxiety, worry, and fatigue when the pace of life continues to become more frantic and the pressure to keep up increases as well. Is it possible to live stress free and still keep pace? Or, are we all trying to live lives that are unsustainable. Today, Americans on average sleep one hour less per night than they did 20 to 30 years go. We work on average 50-55 hours each week and cram personal and family interest and activities in on top of that. We are always on the run believing that someone might get “there” first…wherever “there” is. There is no way we can possibly sustain the pace of life we have created and maintain our physical and emotional health. Stress is killing us! At least, I have determined that to be true for me. If you feel the same, you are going to want to purchase these two great resources on understanding and managing stress.

Stress Less - Audiobook on CD By Don Colbert / Oasis Audio LLC No one likes to feel stress! So then why are americans the most stressed people in the world? Best-selling author, Dr. Don Colbert discusses why this epidemic is out of control and exposes this culprit behind may debilitating and damaging diseases. Using scientific evidence, testimonies of patients, biblical principles, and proven theories, Colbert presents successful strategies for conquering stress that will challenge and convince readers to make life long changes.

Offering serious information with a light touch, author Dawn Groves shows that by starting with a few simple changes, anyone can find a few minutes each day to take care of their bodies with exercise, sleep, and good food; their souls with meditation and prayer; and their minds with pursuits that challenge and please. It makes sense and is more than just another “you gotta reduce your stress load” book. It has a ton of good ideas and I found many of them immediately applicable at work and at home.
